Hot take: Academics are just an isoform of social media influencer. Publications are clicks and citations are likes. H-index = clout.

I have a pediatric patient who refers to her serum phosphorus as "serum preposterous" so that's what I'm calling it from now on.

You know why I love a hepatectomy? It always de-livers! I just made that up and am amused with myself. But also appropriately disappointed.

Update on ALA treatment for cystinuria reveals we have a long way to go before nephrologists will be satisfied with evidence that it is effective and safe. Also, no one has supplied a viable mechanism of action. #rock2015

The best thing about the end of the year is seeing all the regularly-scheduled meetings get canceled and drop off the calendar.

Most hospitals have dropped masking & #SARSCoV2 testing requirements. But after 10 Boston hospitals ended both precautions a surge in hospital-onset viral infections ensued. Just resuming masks—for healthcare workers only—lowered rates of respiratory infections by 33% jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

I've always assumed that people who drink ethylene glycol do it because they've internally asked themselves, "I wonder what it's like to have primary hyperoxaluria, types 1, 2, or 3?"

Fun fact: cystinuria was the first of the genetic kidney stone diseases to be characterized. Garrod presented his findings at the 1908 Croonian Lectures in London. Primary hyperoxaluria was the next to be described, and that was in 1925 by Lepoutre.

It was fun while it lasted. My nearly-2-day reign atop the #medsky kidney stone world has abruptly come to an end now that @weddellite.bsky.social has shown up. Ladies and Gentlemen, please join me in welcoming the World Famous Dr. David Goldfarb to Bluesky!

So how are we denominalizing (verbing) around here? "I Blueskeed about this very disease earlier this morning." I Skeed? I Skyed? I Butterflied? We need a consensus.

One of my favorite underrecognized serious kidney diseases? Dent disease! Many of my Dent patients have male relatives with CKD/ESKD either "of unknown origin" or misdiagnosed as FSGS.
